What he was saying was that the percentages you see in the battery percentages are percentages of the percentage of baattery used. So if your battery is at 50%, and maps says it's used 15% it's used 15% of 50%, not 15% of your total battery. I knew this already, this is not the issue. Maps hasn't been doing it the past few days, but it was definitely beyond normal usage, i watch the usage screen quite closely (call me compulsive lol).
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
It seems to me that he is saying that the phone will report that maps is using the battery just bec1ause it has to say something is using it.

If that is what you are saying, do some more reading on percentage. If maps was not being used, the other processes would just have larger numbers.

Newbie in need of help. Flashed with One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5. I’m trying to get to Clockwork Mod v.3.0.0.6 to get Midnight 4.1. I’ve read that you need to flash a stock EB13 Deodex and DualFS kernel, but don’t know where exactly to find them. Basically I’m just trying to get from 2.5.5 to Clockwork mod correctly so I can flash Midnight 4.1.

I will look at it. I don't think my post was clear enough though. My g1 has a treasury upgrade to rc29 on it. When I turn it on I can't get past the initial sign in part because I don't have a similar card or valid account with T-Mobile.

if you have RC29 then you probably have root (confirm by typing "reboot" in contacts app or wherever, just type the word reboot. If it reboots you have root. If not -- then you dont.

and then adb shell these lines as put forth by jesusfreke and you will bypass the sign in logo and get to wifi....

i love this hack.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boytoreckonwith:
I need help deciding if there is something wrong or this guy is full of S#!T. I'm pretty comfortable with the Evo. I used mostly CM6, CM7, W2P2, & Warm Z nightly while just fiddling with others. I Recently sold my EVO on ebay here. Running Warm Z nightly still, it was pretty obvious it was Rooted. This guy buys it and doesn't even know how to make it usb storage or how to find it on "My Computer" in XP. Completely CLUELESS about rooting phones (but for some reason he still bought it..).

He took it to Sprint (instead of just calling in the EIM) and they noticed it was NOT a factory Rom. They said they couldn't activate it. I walked him through flashing the factory ROM from here. After doing this he claimed they still couldn't activate it over the phone, BUT he never really answered me when I asked what reason they gave for not being able to. He made it sound like it was a technical problem. He said they told him to return it and have me put on the original software (what we already did... minus un-rooting it)

I'm calling B.S. but wanted to know if there was anyone who knew the inner workings of Sprint and could enlighten me. Is there an actual reason I would not only have to put on factory rom, but also un-root it?

What do you think?

1) He's full of Crap

2) Technical Problem

*The WiMax keys were still there when I sold it. I did change the proxy settings using the MSL key but I figured that stuff was all reset when flashing the factory rom. It has RA-recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
You say the guy's an idiot... If the Sprint store asked him questions about the phone and he acted like a dummy, there's a good chance that the CSR thought the phone might've been stolen and they blocked it out.

I had a similar problem with Verizon once. Basically, all three of us (me, buyer, CS) had to three-way on the phone and tell them everything was legit before they released the phone from their death grip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
not sure how old this is but it sheds some light:

Per Sprint's TOS:

"Our Right To Suspend Or Terminate Services

We can, without notice, suspend or terminate any Service at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to: (a) late payment; (b) exceeding an Account Spending Limit; (c) harassing/threatening/abusing/offending our employees or agents; (d) providing false information; (e) interfering with our operations; (f) using/suspicion of using Services in any manner restricted by or inconsistent with the Agreement; (g) breaching the Agreement or failing to follow our Policies; (h) providing false, inaccurate, dated or unverifiable identification or credit information, or becoming insolvent or bankrupt;

(i) modifying a Device from its manufacturer specifications

; (j) failing to use our Services for an extended period of time; (k) failing to maintain an active Device in connection with the Service; or (l) if we believe the action protects our interests, any customer's interests or our network."

for those that hang around xda, we all know that rooting only enhances the experience, but Sprint is going to hang their hat on "modifying" the device and protect their interests

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigbailey1986:
I had this happen to me when I sold a rooted evo last year, he can simply activate it online. And that's what I told the person I sold my phone to, to do and they got it activated. Some ppl should research what root is before they buy a rooted phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I can't remember the setting but you need the msl number and go into one of the ## settings menu and you need to change the number to the phone number you want to activate.he can do it online through sprint support for a walk through.

i think u should have sold him the phone running the original rom even if it was rooted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boytoreckonwith:
No crap! Just got off the phone with him. He is an Ax Man - as in he cuts down trees. He bought it because it looked like it would be cooler than the EVO's his partners have....

Sweet. I'll try that. Do you know which menu? On our phone conversation 10 minutes ago, he said he's willing to ship it back to me to get working and then back to him. He is so clueless he can't even tell me WHAT they tried only that they couldn't get it to work. He was on the phone with tech support for over 2 hours I guess.

Well, I made it pretty clear that it was rooted and highly modified. I guess my mistake was assuming people don't buy something they know nothing about.

I'll keep you updated...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kthejoker20:
This is what you need to do to fix this, I have the same problem./

( I meant your friend, not you) ;)

You need to install the stock RUU.

Run it, and have it initialize, IT WILL ACTIVATE.

Then... after that, you can do a wipe and install CM7.

THIS PHONE WILL NOT ACTIVATE ON CM7 (OR ANY CM) ALONE, WITHOUT PREACTIVATING ON THE STOCK SENSE.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boytoreckonwith:
ALSO...He said the Sprint Tech

guy did NOT ban the EMI

and in fact verified that it was clear. He said it just would not activate on the sprint system...so maybe a profile update problem? Stock roms should be fine updating right? He downloaded the OTA #7 here from XDA from a direct link I gave him. I walked him through flashing it over the phone so I'm 95% sure he put it on there (5% hethought he successfully put it on). I guess we'll see.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boytoreckonwith:
He already has OTA #7 on it...and sprint verified the EIM is clear. Profile update problem?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Interesting thread. For reasons in this thread, I've never been comfortable selling an unlocked device on ebay or similar... In fact, the last 2 phones sold on ebay some weeks back were reverted to completely stock condition. Once the sale is over/phone activated, I don't want to know or hear from the buyer ever again.

It would seem that reading and comprehension has become a lost skill these days. In the ad, you don't specify which rom, but do specify it's sense, so little reason why he couldn't just activate it online or over the phone. From what you describe, the buyer simply doesn't know any better or understands what rooting enables.

Maybe the lesson here is to sell it root/unlocked, but with a fully stock sprint rom installed. The image for whatever custom rom (sense or otherwise) you had previously tweaked to work best with the device is then included in the nandroid folder. This way, should you end up with an ignorant buyer, there is little excuse from sprint regarding activation. If the buyer decides to try your customized/tweaked rom, you can include instructions in the email how to do this. Maybe even include both images - stock sprint and custom roms.

Before going back to sprint, I would try walking him through the online activation process.

##786# has an option to completely wipe all the ota info from the device. Once the esn is associated with his account, he should be able to perform an ota activation using this method, or settings/about/update profile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0rkguy:
Does he have a Sprint account? If so, screw the CSR and activate the phone online via ESN.

Keep me posted. I have tried everything from their website to their facebook page and even from a couple of threads here on xda. It seems that its somewhat device specific. There is no true 'setting'.

[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
I think I figured it out. I am broke and would love a donation but the decision is yours. We were kinda in this together.

Hope this helps!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ramhardy:
so the very bottom for the apn is default,supl,mms ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
Yes. But I think the important one is the chap auth.!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ramhardy:
sorry let me rephrase, I called simple mobile, there customer service(which is horrible btw), told me to create two apn's, one for web and the other for mms, did you do that or do you have one apn?

What is the success rate of downloading your picture messages?

also, can you just post your APN settings?

and if it works as it should, I promise I will make a donation to you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moSess:
Have you tried changing the authentication settings as yet?

I just have one apn. The thing I noticed when I put two in is that our phones only use one at a time. There is no switch off component. we choose which settings and thatss the one it uses. I did that with the recommendation from the user who posted the settings and had a differnt set for the mms. After doing it I saw that it was useless because of the fact that you can only use one at a time.

I have sent myself photes on a number of occasions and they have worked everytime. I have noticed that it DOES NOT work on wifi. My apn settings are the default set with the authentication set to chap. That's it! Go to the apn settings and hit menu, then hit reset to default. It takes a minute or two. After, when it gets set, go to the and set chap auth. That's it.

I have tried to upload a screen shot but all the browsers and even the xda app won't let me. But that's the subject of another thread!

Hope this helps. Let me know when you have tried it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ijoshv2:
Something that not all of you understand is, these settings don't exactly work for every phone. You can't use a G1's settings for a G2. Nor can you use a MTS's. We need the APN settings SPECIFICALLY for the G2. If you post otherwise, you're wasting everyone else's time and patience.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
I had some issues too. Under my Access Point Names, I had the "Simple" profile and the "T-Mobile US" profile. By default, the Simple one was selected. I, too, had the issue where the MMS would appear that it is sending but would never really send. I did some research and found out that if I deleted the Simple profile and simply set the T-Mobile US one as my default that it would work.

I cannot provide customizations here for each individual tab because there are about one or two lines with asteriks so I have no idea what was put it.

For those who have issues, do you guys have any other profiles? I've also googled custom apn settings but I did not try them and so cannot confirm that it works or not.

I am well aware of that thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ramhardy:

[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Really? I've never heard that before, especially for MMSC servers. I've seen carriers use a specific APN for specific device types before (e.g., all Blackberries on one APN, iPhones on another APN, WinMo on another, etc.). This is usually because each of those phones have their own specific data plan so it makes it easier for the carriers to maintain and audit (for example, it's obvious when say an iPhone pops up on a non-iPhone APN and the carrier can inform the user they need to switch to the correct data plan). Even then, I'm not sure I've even seen Android and WinMo devices split up (normally it's just "smartphone" vs "dumbphone"), but I could believe it. I've also seen some that may have multiple general APNs to help share the load across their servers, but phones can use any of them and still work (and even then, I think they all still used the same MMSC, but I could be mistaken).

I'd be shocked if a carrier was creating new APNs and MMSCs for every device they support (especially in cases like this where the carrier doesn't actually release phones themselves and state they support GSM generally). It seems like it'd just be too expensive for them to maintain...
[G2 and Desire Z General] ts-1:
this may be totally out in left field but at least on my tmobile g2 with default apn setup out of box, mms fail to be sent/received while i have wifi enabled. if i write an mms with wifi enabled it will sit there when i disable wifi i'll get an hspa connection (H) and then it will get sent.

For this entire week I’ve been attempting to convert my HD2 to an Android. I’ve managed to download HSPL3 and install it. I also installed Energy Leo. Than I downloaded (HD2Froyo_V3.7z) and put the files on a brand new SD Mini card formatted fat32.

The phone ran great, until I lost signal and I had to reboot the phone. When it started back up I tried following the same procedure to run Android and screen (Booting Lenix) comes up followed by green hTc logo and it stays there for ever. So far I’ve waited for as long as 20min but nothing happens.

Help!!!!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nenol:
If your phone won't boot beyond the htc logo, it is because it can't find the operating system to boot. It's like a computer without a hard drive - the bios will run but there's nothing further that will happen.

So without me reading about the android rom you switched to, I would suggest reinstalling the os. If you haven't yet, I suggest reading up on what Magldr can do - read the forums, read installation instructions on other roms, read the threads to find common problems and see how comfortable you are with them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dacian:
I hope these don't come off too n00b-ish, I'm not new to Android nor to rooting phones. I had an Evo and was on Sprint when I realized that...hey, Sprint's service sucks, so I came back to Ma Bell since they finally got an Android device worth buying (no offense to others, but the Aria is way too small)

Anyway, my first question is do any of these ROMs up right now have sideloading capabilities yet?

Second, coming off of the Evo I had Sense 1.0 and it automatically linked my contact card to my Facebook through Facebook for Sense, but Sense 2.0 doesn't do that, is there a way to link my picture/contact card to Facebook?

Third, speaking of which, anyone else have problems with the Facebook App? It doesn't show my picture on my profile and half of the time doesn't load a lot of user pictures.

And last, HTC released Swype for the Evo, is there any plans of the I4G/DHD getting the keyboard too? I mainly use Better Keyboard but liked having Swype at times.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dacian:
No one can answer these?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
To my knowledge, every Rom here has sideloading enabled.

I only ran Sense for a few hours so I can't answer that. Sorry lol.

Once you have sideloading enabled, search Google for the swype beta and install it. Bam.

The facebook app that came preinstalled on my I4G wouldn't show my or some other pics either so I gotta say that it has to do with something that the stock rom had.
